Locks & alarm 12 ALARM SYSTEM Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm system. In order to ensure maximum security, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the alarm system by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.
Locks & alarm 13 Unlocking with the handset Within range of the vehicle, briefly press the PLAIN button on the handset; the hazard warning lights flash once, the alarm is disarmed immediately and the doors unlock. NOTE: The interior lights illuminate when the alarm system is disarmed.
Locks & alarm 14 HANDSET BATTERY The handset battery should last for approximately three years, dependent upon use. When the battery needs replacing, it will be apparent from the following symptoms: • The handset will only work every other operation.
Locks & alarm 15 ALARM OR HANDSET DIFFICULTIES Alarm goes off unexpectedly. Ensure all windows, doors, hood and sunroof are closed. Vehicle will not start. Press unlock button on handset. If it still will not start, consult your Land Rover dealer.
Locks & alarm 16 KEY AND HANDSET NUMBERS You have been supplied with two identical remote control handsets and a pair of identical keys which operate all locks, including the rear door and petrol flap. The key number is stamped on a tag attached to the key ring.
Locks & alarm 17 Child locks Move the locking levers to the ’ON’ position (as illustrations) to engage. With the child locks engaged, neither the rear doors nor the tailgate can be opened from inside the vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a door being opened accidentally while the vehicle is moving.
Seats 18 MANUALLY OPERATED FRONT SEATS Forward/backward movement Lift the bar to slide the seat forward or back. Ensure the seat is locked in position before driving. WARNING To avoid the risk of loss of control and personal injury, DO NOT adjust the driver’s seat while the vehicle is in motion.
Seats 19 POWER OPERATED FRONT SEATS (if fitted) The seat adjustment controls are situated on the centre console adjacent to the seat bolsters. Adjustment is only possible when the starter switch is turned to positions ’I’ or ’II’, or with a front door open when the starter switch is in position ’0’.
Seats 20 Seat cushion height Push the switch up or down, to raise or lower the cushion. Lumbar support adjustment Rotate the handwheel to increase or decrease support to the lumbar region of the back. Seat back adjustment Twist the switch forward or backward until the desired seat back angle is achieved.
Seats 21 Head restraint adjustment (power operated seats only) WARNING Head restraints are designed to support the back of the head (NOT THE NECK), and to restrain rearward movement of the head in the event of a collision. The restraint must be positioned level with the head to be effective.
Seats 22 FOLDING THE REAR SEATS Before folding the rear seats, pass the seat belt locks through the junction of the backrest and the cushion and into the loadspace. WARNING DO NOT adjust the seats while the vehicle is in motion. Ensure your fingers are clear of the seat latches when folding the rear seats.
Seats 23 INWARD FACING SEATS (if fitted) With the loadspace cover (if fitted) retracted and stowed, pull out the seat stand, and fold down the seatbase. Please refer to Infant and child restraint section for correct placement of the child seat. WARNING DO NOT attempt to fit an infant or child restraint system to the inward facing seats.
Seat belts 24 SEAT BELT SAFETY WARNING Seat belts are life saving equipment. In a collision, occupants not wearing a seat belt will be thrown around inside, or possibly thrown out of the vehicle. This is likely to result in more serious injuries than would have been the case had a seat belt been worn.
Seat belts 25 WEARING SEAT BELTS CORRECTLY Fastening the inertia reel belts Draw the belt over the shoulder and across the chest, and then insert the metal tongue plate into the lock nearest the wearer - a ’CLICK’ indicates that the belt is securely locked.
Seat belts 26 Lap belts The rear central and inward facing seating positions are fitted with lap belts only. To adjust, pull the slider along the belt and feed the webbing through the buckle until the belt is comfortably tight. Fit the belt as low as possible on the hips (never on the abdomen).
Seat belts 27 CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR SMALL CHILDREN AND BABIES Infants and children too small for adult seat belts should be restrained in a child safety seat or restraint system appropriate to their age and/or size, and which is approved for use in your vehicle.
Seat belts 28 Care & maintenance of seat belts WARNING • DO NOT allow foreign matter (particularly sugary food and drink particles) to enter the seat belt locks - such substances can render the locks inoperative.
SRS/Airbag 29 The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) provides additional protection for the driver and front seat passenger, in the event of a collision or severe frontal impact on the vehicle.
SRS/Airbag 30 WARNING Following inflation, some SRS/airbag components are hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled. Even with SRS/airbag equipment fitted, seat belts must ALWAYS be worn because: • An airbag will only provide additional protection in certain types of frontal collisions.
SRS/Airbag 31 SRS/airbag warning light Whenever the starter switch is turned to position ’II’, the diagnostic control unit monitors the readiness of the system’s electrical circuits.
SRS/Airbag 32 WARNING The components that make up the SRS/airbag are sensitive to electrical or physical interference, either of which could easily damage the system and cause inadvertent operation or a malfunction of the airbag module.
Steering column 33 STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT Adjust the height of the steering column to suit your driving position, as follows: 1. Push the locking lever up (and hold in position). 2. Move the steering wheel up or down into the desired position. 3. Release the locking lever.
Exterior mirrors 34 ELECTRIC MIRRORS 1. Turn the control fully to ’L’ or ’R’ to select either the left or right hand mirror. 2. With the starter switch turned to position ’II’, press the top/bottom/left or right of the control to move the mirror glass to the required position.
Instruments 35 1. Tachometer Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute. In normal driving conditions the engine is most fuel efficient between 2000 and 3000 rev/min. The vehicle is fitted with a system which automatically restricts the number of engine revolutions per minute once the engine’s maximum ’governed’ speed has been reached.
Instruments 36 6. Temperature gauge Once the engine coolant has reached its normal operating temperature, the pointer should remain between the ’C’ (cold) and ’H’ (hot) segments. If the pointer enters the HOT segment, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and seek qualified assistance before continuing.
Warning lights 37 The warning lights are colour coded as follows: WARNING DO NOT drive if a RED warning light remains on or illuminates whilst the engine is running. RED lights are warnings. AMBER lights are cautions. GREEN & BLUE lights indicate that a unit is operating.
Warning lights 38 Hazard warning lights - RED Illuminates when the hazard warning lights are flashing. Low oil pressure - RED The light should extinguish when the engine is started. If the light remains on or illuminates whilst driving, STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY and seek qualified assistance.
Warning lights 39 Battery charging - RED The light illuminates as a bulb check when the starter switch is turned to position ’II’ and extinguishes when the engine is running. If it remains on, or illuminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated. Seek qualified assistance urgently.
Lights & indicators 40 Direction indicators Move the lever down to indicate a LEFT turn, and up to indicate a RIGHT turn (the GREEN warning light on the instrument panel will flash in time with the direction indicators). Hold the lever part-way up or down against spring pressure to indicate a lane change.
Wipers & washers 41 WINDSCREEN WIPERS The wipers and washers will only operate when the starter switch is turned to position ’II’. • Single wipe Pull the lever down and release immediately. NOTE: With the lever held down, the wipers will continue operating at high speed until it is released.
Wipers & washers 42 Rear window wiper Press to operate: after continuously wiping 3 or 4 times, the wiper operates intermittently (approx once every 6 seconds) until switched off. Rear window wash/wipe Press and hold switch for the required duration of window washing.
Switches 43 Heated rear window Press to operate; press a second time to switch off. The indicator light in the switch illuminates while the heating elements are switched on and extinguishes when they are turned off. Note that the heated rear window operates only with the engine running.
Switches 44 Hazard warning lights Press to operate; all the direction indicator lights (including those fitted to a trailer) will flash in conjunction with each other. Use ONLY in an emergency to warn other road users when your stationary vehicle is causing an obstruction, or is in a hazardous situation.
Windows 45 ELECTRIC WINDOWS The switches on the centre console operate as follows: 1. Right hand front window. 2. Left hand front window. 3. Right hand rear window.
Sunroof 46 ELECTRIC SUNROOFS (if fitted) An electric sunroof can be operated when the starter switch is at position ’II’, and for up to 45 seconds after the starter switch is turned off (provided no door is opened in the meantime).
Heating & ventilation 47 The location of air vents is shown by the air-flow arrows in the picture. The temperature of air supplied to each vent is controlled by the heater. NOTE: Vent (1) is designed to keep the audio unit cool. There is no air flow from this vent.
Heating & ventilation 48 HEATER CONTROLS 1. Temperature controls The left hand control varies air temperature from the vents on the left side of the vehicle.
Heating & ventilation 49 4. Air recirculation control Press to recirculate air inside the vehicle (indicator light illuminates). The air recirculation mode prevents the heating system from taking in fresh air from outside the vehicle. Instead, the air already inside the vehicle is recirculated, thus preventing the entry of traffic fumes.
Heating & ventilation 50 USING YOUR HEATER Fresh air enters the heater unit through the grille in front of the windscreen and stale air is drawn out through vents in the rear of the vehicle. Ensure the grille is kept clear of obstructions (especially snow and ice).
Air conditioning 51 AIR CONDITIONING The air conditioning system provides additional cooling to the vehicle interior, and also reduces the moisture content of the air. Using the air conditioning The air conditioning system will only operate when the air blower is switched on, and should only be used when the engine is running.
Air conditioning 52 The following examples are included for your guidance: Normal cooling After starting the engine, switch on the air conditioning and set the heating and ventilation controls as shown. The blower speed can be varied to suit your comfort requirements.
Interior equipment 53 FRONT INTERIOR LIGHT With the switch midway between the ’ON’ and ’OFF’ positions, the light will illuminate automatically whenever a door is opened.

Starter switch & steering lock 61 STEERING LOCK To unlock the steering Insert the key FULLY and turn the starter switch to position ’I’ while turning the steering wheel slightly. The turning movement is necessary to disengage the lock. To lock the steering Turn the key to position ’0’ and withdraw it from the starter switch.
Starter switch & steering lock 62 WARNING To prevent the steering column lock engaging it is most important that before the vehicle is moved in any way, the key be inserted in the lock and turned to position ’I’.
Starting & driving 63 STARTING WARNING The catalytic converter is easily damaged by improper use, particularly if the wrong fuel is used, or if an engine misfire occurs. Before starting the engine and driving, ENSURE that you are familiar with the precautions shown under ’Catalytic Converter’ later in this section.
Starting & driving 64 Automatic gearbox models WARNING When the engine has started, BEFORE moving the gear selector lever out of ’P’ or ’N’ it is important that the parking brake or foot b.
Starting & driving 65 VEHICLE HEIGHT WARNING The overall height of your vehicle exceeds that of ordinary passenger cars (the height is shown on the underside of the sun visor). Always be aware of the height of your vehicle and check the available clearance before driving through low entrances.
Catalytic converter 66 CATALYTIC CONVERTER The exhaust system incorporates a catalytic converter, which reduces emissions from the engine into environmentally less harmful gases. The catalytic converter can be easily damaged through improper use, particularly if the wrong fuel is used, or if an engine misfire occurs.
Catalytic converter 67 Driving • Provided the engine has reached its normal operating temperature, if a misfire is suspected or the vehicle lacks power while driving, it may be driven SLOWLY (at risk of damaging the catalyst) to a Land Rover dealer for assistance.
Fuel 68 USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL Octane requirements Always use PREMIUM UNLEADED GASOLINE with a CLC or AKI octane rating of 90 or 92 (95 or 96 RON). NOTE: Federal law requires that gasoline octane ratings be posted on the pumps.
Fuel 69 Gasoline/oxygenated fuel blends To avoid invalidating the vehicle warranty, use ONLY fuels blended within the following limits. 1. Up to 15% of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded fuel mix. 2. Up to 15% of Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (ETBE) and unleaded fuel mix.
Fuel 70 Fuel filling Filling station pumps are equipped with automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel spillage - only fill the tank until the filler nozzle automatically cuts off the supply. DO NOT attempt to fill the tank beyond this point or spillage could result due to expansion of the fuel.
Fuel 71 FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH The fuel cut-off switch is a safety device which, in the event of a collision or sudden impact, automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the engine.
Manual transmission 72 MANUAL TRANSMISSION Manual transmission vehicles feature a five speed main gearbox and a two speed transfer box. In addition, a centre differential in the transfer box distributes the drive to the front and rear axles, providing permanent four wheel drive.
Automatic transmission 73 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION The automatic transmission features a four speed main gearbox with a torque converter and a two speed transfer box. A centre differential in the transfer box distributes power to both front and rear axles, providing permanent four wheel drive.
Automatic transmission 74 Automatic selector lever positions ’P’ (Park) In this position the transmission is locked to prevent the vehicle from rolling away. Select ONLY with the vehicle stationary and the parking brake on. ’R’ (Reverse) Select ONLY when the vehicle is stationary.
Automatic transmission 75 Gear change speeds With ’D’ selected, the road speed at which gear changes take place will vary according to the position of the accelerator: minimum acceleration will re.
Transfer gearbox 76 TRANSFER GEARBOX The two speed transfer gearbox, is used to select either the high or low range of gears and, in addition, also controls the centre differential (known as the ’DIFF LOCK’).
Transfer gearbox 77 USING THE TRANSFER GEARBOX There are two ways of operating the transfer gearbox lever; the ’normal’ method - recommended for inexperienced drivers - and the ’advanced’ method for experienced drivers.
Transfer gearbox 78 Automatic models: Changing from ’H’ (high) to ’L’ (low) or vice versa without stopping the vehicle can be achieved as follows: Reduce (or increase) the speed of the vehicle to 5 mph (8 km/h) and release the accelerator.
Transfer gearbox 79 Selecting diff lock The diff lock can be engaged or disengaged either with the vehicle stationary, or when driving at any road speed, and without depressing the clutch. However, with the vehicle in motion it is ESSENTIAL to be travelling on firm ground, in a straight line, and without wheel slip.
Transfer gearbox 80 Diff lock warning light The amber warning light on the instrument panel illuminates when the diff lock is actually engaged - rather than when it has been selected. Similarly it will only extinguish when the diff lock is actually disengaged.
Braking systems 81 FOOT BRAKE As a safety precaution, the hydraulic braking system operates through dual circuits. If one circuit fails, the other will continue to function, but increased brake pedal travel, greater pedal effort and longer stopping distances will be experienced.
Braking systems 82 Wet conditions WARNING Driving through water or even very heavy rain may adversely affect braking efficiency. Always dry the braking surfaces by intermittent light application of the brakes, first ensuring that you are at a safe distance from other road users.
Braking systems 83 ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WARNING ABS cannot overcome the physical limitations of stopping in too short a distance, cornering at high speed, or the danger of aquaplaning i.e. where a layer of water prevents adequate contact between the tyres and road surface.
Braking systems 84 Additional operating information While anti-lock braking is designed to operate equally effectively in ’off-road’ driving conditions, on certain surfaces total reliance on the system may be unwise - remember, in normal circumstances, anti-lock braking operates only AFTER the driver has already lost control.
Braking systems 85 Warning light The anti-lock braking system warning light illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position ’II’, and performs an ABS system check.
Cruise control 86 WARNING DO NOT use cruise control when using low range transfer gears or reverse gears. DO NOT use cruise control on winding or slippery road surfaces, or in traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot easily be maintained.
Cruise control 87 To reduce the cruising speed Press the ’RES -’ switch or use the brake pedal to slow the vehicle until the required speed has been reached, then press the ’SET +’ switch to establish the new cruising speed (remember that cruise control will not operate at speeds below 28 mph (45 km/h).
Towing & load carrying 88 TOWING The torque ranges of Land Rover engines allow maximum weight loads to be pulled smoothly from standstill, and reduce gear changing on hills or rough terrain. The suspension is designed to cope with a heavy trailer load without upsetting the balance or feel of the vehicle.
Towing & load carrying 89 When preparing your vehicle for towing, pay careful attention to the trailer manufacturer’s recommendations and also follow the guidelines below: • Ensure that the towing vehicle tyre pressures are correct and that the trailer tyre pressures are as recommended by the trailer manufacturer.
Towing & load carrying 90 Automatic gearbox models To avoid overheating the main gearbox, it is not advisable to tow heavy trailer loads at speeds of less than 20 mph (32 km/h) using the main gearbox in high range. Use the transfer gearbox to select LOW range instead.
Towing & load carrying 91 ROOF RACK The roof rack has two side rails permanently fixed to the roof of the vehicle and three removable cross rails which are stowed in the tool bag beneath the rear seat. Each cross rail has a pair of locating pins at each end.
Emergency starting 92 Starting an engine with a discharged battery The ONLY recommended methods of restarting a vehicle with a discharged battery are: • The use of a substitute battery fitted to the disabled vehicle. • The use of booster cables, to connect the battery from a donor vehicle to the discharged battery.
Emergency starting 93 Always adopt the following procedure when using booster cables: 1. If a donor vehicle is to be used, both vehicles should be parked with their battery locations adjacent to each other. Ensure that the two vehicles do not touch. 2.
Vehicle recovery 94 TOWING FOR RECOVERY If your vehicle is to be recovered by towing, the best method is via a flatbed tow truck. However, if it is necessary for the vehicle to be towed with all four wheels on the ground, always adhere to the following procedure: 1.
Vehicle recovery 95 Towing eyes The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and must NOT be used to tow a trailer or caravan. FRONT: A single towing eye, protruding through the spoiler (see illustration), is provided at the front of the vehicle.
96.
97 The long-term safety, reliability and performance of your vehicle will depend very largely on how well it is maintained. Maintenance is the owner’s responsibility, and it is ESSENTIAL that all routine services are carried out by a Land Rover dealer at the specified intervals.
98.
Owner maintenance 99 OWNER MAINTENANCE In addition to the routine services, which should be carried out by your Land Rover dealer at the intervals shown in the Passport to Service, a number of simple checks and adjustments (listed below) must be carried out by the owner or driver on a regular basis.
Owner maintenance 100 Planned maintenance Regular systematic maintenance is the key to ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency of your Discovery.
Owner maintenance 101 SAFETY IN THE GARAGE Whenever you carry out maintenance on your vehicle, the following safety precautions should be followed at all times. • ALWAYS keep hands, hair, tools and items of clothing clear of all drive belts and pulleys.

GLOVEBOX LIGHT Slide the light unit to the left and insert a broad flat-headed screwdriver to release the retaining catch. Withdraw the light unit from the glovebox and pull out bulb to replace.
Cleaning & vehicle care 131 WASHING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING Some high pressure cleaning systems, are sufficiently powerful to penetrate door and window seals and damage rubbing strips and locking mechanisms. Never aim the water jet directly at heater air intakes, body and sunroof seals, or at any components that might easily be damaged.
Cleaning & vehicle care 132 Body protection After washing, inspect the paintwork for damage. Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the bodywork should be repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop into major repair expense.
Cleaning & vehicle care 133 LOOKING AFTER THE INTERIOR Clean plastic-faced, or cloth covered surfaces with diluted upholstery cleaner. Leather seats, steering wheel and trim features should be cleaned with a damp cloth, moistened with undiluted leather upholstery cleaner.
Air cleaner 134 Renewing the air cleaner element at the recommended service intervals (see your ’Passport to Service’), is extremely important. However, to maintain optimum engine performance under dusty operating conditions, more frequent renewal will be necessary.
Spark plugs 135 Spark plug removal Remove the plug leads (1), ensuring that you hold the rubber shroud and NOT the H.T. leads (this will ensure no damage occuring to the connectors during removal).
Engine oil & filter 136 Ensure the engine oil is changed at the recommended service intervals (see your ’Passport to Service’). Under severe operating conditions (i.e. regular use in muddy terrain or dusty conditions), the engine oil must be changed frequently, even to the extent of a daily change.
Engine oil & filter 137 Engine oil filter renewal To avoid draining the oil pump, it is essential that the engine is filled with oil to the correct level, before the filter is removed. It is therefore recommended that the engine oil is renewed before work on the filter commences.
Lubricants 138 Lubricants Using the correct grade and specification of lubricant is very important. Only use Land Rover recommended lubricants as shown in ’General data’. NOTE: Recommended oils are complete in themselves and additives should not be used.

Off-road driving 157 WARNING Off-road driving can be hazardous! DO NOT take unnecessary risks and be prepared for emergencies at all times. Your Discovery has a higher ground clearance and hence a higher centre of gravity than an ordinary passenger car.
Off-road driving 158 Gear selection - automatic gearbox With the main selector lever set at ’3’, the gearbox automatically provides the correct gear. Remember that position ’1’ will hold the gearbox in first gear to give maximum engine braking when required.
Off-road driving 159 Ground clearance Don’t forget to allow for ground clearance beneath the chassis, axles, and under the front and rear bumpers. Note that the axle differentials are situated BELOW the chassis and are positioned slightly to the RIGHT of the centre of the vehicle.
Off-road driving 160 DRIVING ON SOFT SURFACES & DRY SAND The ideal technique for driving on soft sand requires the vehicle to be kept moving at all times - soft ground and sand cause excessive drag on the wheels resulting in a rapid loss of motion once driving momentum is lost.
Off-road driving 161 CLIMBING STEEP SLOPES Engage the DIFF LOCK and ALWAYS follow the fall line of the slope - travelling diagonally could encourage the vehicle to slide broadside down the slope.
Off-road driving 162 DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES A. Stop the vehicle at least a vehicle length before the slope and engage first gear (selector position ’1’ for automatic gearbox cars) in LOW range with the differential locked.
Off-road driving 163 TRAVERSING A SLOPE Before crossing a slope ALWAYS observe the following precautions: • Check that the ground is firm and not slippery.
Off-road driving 164 CROSSING A RIDGE Approach at right angles so that both front wheels and then both rear wheels cross the ridge together - an angled approach could cause traction to be lost through diagonally opposite wheels lifting from the ground at the same time.
Off-road driving 165 After wading • Drive the vehicle a short distance and apply the foot brake to check that the brakes are fully effective. • DO NOT rely on the parking brake alone to hold the v.
